HS Code 151800

As published in the USITC HTS (data as of 2026-07-05), the base MFN rate for 151800 averages about 8%, and Section 301 China surcharges apply on covered lines (up to +7.5%), bringing the effective China-origin rate to roughly 11.5% (averaged across 2 national tariff lines). This is a research estimate — the final rate depends on your full 8-10 digit HTS line; verify on hts.usitc.gov.

HS code 151800 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Animal or vegetable fats and oils and their fractions, boiled, oxidised, dehydrated, sulphurised, blown, polymerised by heat in vacuum or in inert gas or otherwise chemically modified, excluding those of heading 1516; inedible mixtures or preparations of animal or vegetable fats or oils or of fractions of different fats or oils of this chapter, not elsewhere specified or included". The first two digits (15) are the chapter — Animal, vegetable or microbial fats and oils and their cleavage products — and digits 3-4 (1518) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 151800 include boiled oil, blown oil, oxidized oil, polymerized oil, linseed stand oil, factice and similar items matching animal or vegetable fats and oils and their…. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (151800) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.

Yes at the 6-digit level. India's HSN (Harmonized System of Nomenclature) uses the same WCO base, so HSN 151800 covers the same "animal or vegetable fats and oils and their…" scope; India then extends it to 8 digits for GST and customs. Check the Indian Customs tariff (CBIC) for the full national line.
